: The Big huge Hobbit puppet show is coming to my home town of Sydney after apparently touring around the world. I was wondering if anyone has seen it and if so what is it like? I intend to go no mater what you say but I would like feedback. If I don't hear anything before I go I will let you all know what it was like when I get back. If you're interested that is,*****************************************************************
Saw it 2 years ago when it first came to sydney & I was 12 & first getting into The Lord of the Rings, and I fully loved it! I dunno how technically correct it was - I hadn't read The Hobbit since I was 5 when i saw it, and I can't remember enough of it to tell now, but the puppets were really cute & really well done and the special effects rocked as well. I do remember that when the puppets are on stage, the puppeteer is really obvious coz they're in full view. I thought this was a little weird at first, coz I haven't really seen any other puppet shows, but it didn't detract from the effect and charm of the production at all. I'm going to see it again on hte 20th, & I'm really looking foward to it.
